Pumpkin Seeds in the Sand is a label conceived solely from and for our pure adoration of music. We admire, and are inspired by, atypical compositions, defying the stale regularity and boundaries of the daily “fridge buzz,” in attempts to create something extraordinary; something that moves us; music which momentarily alters a listener’s perception of the world, introducing new colors, slowing down rain, and defining “beauty”.

PSS001 | Jasper TXIn a cool monsoon
Following the lovely and appropriately titled sophmore lp A Darkness, along with various 3 inch and compilations, Sweden's Dag Rosenqvist(aka Jasper TX) graces us with yet another breath-taking full length. In a cool monsoon enriches his already distinguished library of releases, offering 7 tracks of diverse instrumentation in delicate drone and field recordings. With his latest, Dag expands his sound with a broader array of instruments, arranging each individual track with a unique sound and feel of it’s own; trailing one's heart through remorse, into light and every human emotion in between. Dag truly proves his worth among a sea of ambient artists with a record that accomplishes a rarity many artists, of any field, can only hope to one day achieve: a poignant balance of melancholy and hope, into one genre-defining album.
SOLD OUT
PSS002 | The Seven Mile JourneyThe Metamorphosis Project
2006 marked a promising debut from Danish post-rock four-piece The Seven Mile Journey. With a record 7 years in the making, the ensemble performed scattered gigs and festivals throughout Europe , in support of an esteemed The Journey Studies; while a follow-up was in the midst of production. Ensuingly recorded, The Metamorphosis Project sweeps unsuspected listeners into passages of intense, cinematic build ups, accumulating towards awe-inspiring peaks. With every aspect of their formations stepped up to a whole new level, this new offering manifests evident growth and maturity in the band; and will undoubtedly leave listeners weak-kneed, and waiting for what’s next to come from this next potential post-rock great.
PSS003 | Neil on ImpressionThe Perfect Tango
Initially a 2006 release off Grab the Stars, Release the Bats, and Life in a Box, Neil on Impression’s The Perfect Tango marveled post-rock audiences through seven talents incorporating violins, pianos, and trumpets in arranging beautifully versatile compositions, with broad influences from classical, jazz, to contemporary instrumental rock music. Set to the theme of the film Last Tango in Paris, the record consists of four borderline orchestral pieces, highly acclaimed for it’s memorable mood shifts, stunning climaxes, and overall unpredictability in progression. With considerable buzz around this unforeseen treat, the album pressing inevitably sold out, leaving newly acquainted fans elated, yet, unfortunately, empty handed; that is, until now. After an absence of two years on the market, Pumpkin Seeds in the Sand is proud and honored to present admirers with another opportunity to obtain this highly mesmerizing work of sweat, and heart, newly repressed with exclusive packaging and artwork, sure to please any NOI devotee.
Our releases are also available in-store/via online shop through Aquarius Records(San Francisco, CA) and Linus Records(Tokyo, Japan). Thank you.

our debut 10" called 'this faint line' is finally out:
"three long songs (totalling just under 20 minutes) on this ep, a mix of classic emo (julia), indie / emo (mineral) and post rock. you get build ups, twinkles, singing, sobbing, lengthy instrumental parts, and explosions. i am stoked to have been in on this one. the packaging is exceptional too, understated with stamped covers." (andy/SNCL)
